Say it ain't so. It's so.

Quote:
In its Tuesday morning coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles, Fox News used images of players praying on a knee before games as evidence they were kneeling during the national anthem.

Outraged by the wrongful use of the images, Eagles tight end Zach Ertz called out Fox News for spewing "propaganda."

It does bring up an interesting question. It's not disrespectful to kneel while you pray. Players often kneel when a player is seriously hurt and being attended to. So why do folks think it's disrespectful to kneel during the anthem?

Because kneeling during the anthem is not politically correct. Especially among those that are anti-PC

Every news outlet does this with pictures. Every single one. They use pictures of similar things as clickbait.

Cut the BS, Americans have respected the military since we established this country. And they've done it at sporting events by standing, facing the flag, removing their hate, with hand over heart. If you want to worship Michael Brown, go to the cemetery.

Yup -- lots do.....So let's start calling them out on it. Now let's not go crazy -- Breitbart, Infowars, Zerohedge -- don't even put them in this category because the thread will go to 1000 pages before the end of the week.

I have questioned the same thing. Kneeling is a sign of RESPECT and a way to show that these players RESPECT the flag. Certainly lot more than when Roseanne Barr totally DISrespected the anthem and the country when she sang it in a schtick and grabber her crotch at the end.
